Gourmet Soup you can make at home with lots of nutrition and taste. Better than the restaurant for sure.

* 2 zucchinis (medium)

* 2 potatoes (medium)

* 1 onion (white)

* 2 cloves of garlic

* 3-4 tablespoons of ghee or butter

* ½ litre water (if you want it less creamy use more water)

* 2 teaspoons of curry powder*We did not use any stock for this soup

* Salt, pepper and ground ginger

Optional: Fresh

parsley or another garnish

Prepare Cut
garlic and onion into small pieces (diced).Cut
zucchini in half and slice (don’t peel).Dice
and peel potatoes

.

Cook

Put ghee or butter in a pot and heat. I prefer using ghee.
Put
garlic and onions with curry powder and stir. Leave 5 minutes until translucent.
Add
water (if you use a stock add it here).
Add
potatoes and zucchini and cook until soft for 20 minutes.
Add
salt and pepper to taste. Also add a small amount of ground ginger to taste.
Puree
until mixed (we blended it and had the same effect).
Scrap out if you used a blender and return to the pot. Or, now you are ready to serve it!
Add
fresh parsley as a garnish.

Serve

Makes 2 portions (what I call gourmet restaurant
portions) and with 1 left-over. I describe it like this because everyone has a different idea of size so this eliminates any confusions. In other words, it's not your fast-food or Sloppy Joe portion (nothing wrong with that either by the way).

The Journey So Far

Life is an adventure and yoga is the greatest one of all. Here I share my love of Yoga, travel, practice and becoming a part-time cook. My life adventures have taken me from growing up in Toronto to living and working in South Korea to studying in India, marriage and finally closing my Yoga school of 15 years.

What I can say so far is that I truly believe that it is necessary in life to let go of one dream in order for another to be born. This might be painful to do so but it is the only way to move forward. We often believe that if our original plan does not succeed it is the recipe for failure. But what if it is the door to something new and great? The horizon is wide and life is not a straight line. This is the way I see it and my journey so far. Having also recently given birth to my first child and at 43, it is another new beginning.
